I have just covered myself in fake tan (for the 1st time) without exfoliating...

[schneebly]

am I going to look like a plonker in the morning?

Possibly a patchy orange one!

Top tip for the morning: Orange patches can be removed by rubbing with whitening toothpaste!

oh dear

get in the shower quick

Get an old flannel - rub your knees, shins and wrists or you may look like your liver has stopped working.

oh dear! Wine and fake tan dont mix!!!!

after careful inspection this morning I am relatively streak free! I think it helps that it is a very natural colour and not too obvious. Phew!

What did you use?

yes, do tell what the miracle brand was?

Dove? Johnsons?

oh get that moisturiser stuff that builds up

far less of a shock

it was tesco finest self tan spray

£2.99 at the moment - smells not bad too

capp i found that gradual tan moisturiser got really blotchy over time (eg on arms)

which one do you use?

I have used almost every one going and always get orange patches or white patches. Even when I paid to have it applied it was patchy. I am very pale so I suppose that doesn't help.

Loreal nutrisummer gradual tanner everytime. It is fab!

has anyone used piz buin, olay, garnier or boots soltan. they are the only every day moisturiser type ones i haven't tried yet but i wasn't successful with others despite exfoliating and using a mitt.

Frascati,is that the spray one?Think thats what I've been using every couple of days,and it's a bit patchy on me.Vey gradual effect though so not too noticeable.(I hope)

did you exfoliate before?

I have a rub over with dry exfoliating gloves every other day or so,seems to stop patchiness I think!
The best fake tan I have used is St Tropez mousse,the best gradual every day moisturiser one is either Nutrishimmer(l'oreal) or Nivea on me.

Always exfoliate.(even if I'm not using fake tan)I have shocking knees and elbows if I don't.

have you tried using a mitt?

International Mouse it's Dove

used Johnsons before but Dove far less streaky ime

you can get a fake tan remover
